Early years

Harrell began learning to skate as a three-year-old at the Diamond Edge Figure Skating Club in Little Rock, Arkansas. [2] At age seven, she relocated for training to Dallas, Texas, where she was coached by Natalia Mishkutionok for one year before joining Olga Ganicheva and Aleksey Letov. [2]

2018–2019 season

Harrell was diagnosed with a foot injury in late August 2018. She wore a protective boot for more than a month and was off the ice completely for two to three weeks. [4] She stated, "I had a bad injury on my foot, and I had two stress reactions, and they were almost fractured". [4]

In October, Harrell placed seventh at her JGP assignment in Yerevan, Armenia. In January, at the 2019 U.S. Championships, she won the senior pewter medal (behind Alysa Liu, Bradie Tennell and Mariah Bell).

Harrell had to withdraw from the 2019 JGP Italy due to a stress fracture in her foot that was repeatedly misdiagnosed. Harrell's injury subsequently forced her to withdraw from the rest of the season, including her place on the American team to the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, Switzerland. [6]
